Thrust 1: We utilize physics, chemistry, and machine learning tools to explore new possibilities for tissue imaging, cancer diagnosis, and personalized treatment for cancer patients.
Themes include advanced optics, AI, cancer:
Raman microscopy, stimulated Raman scattering imaging (label-free live cell and tissue imaging, methodology)
Ultrafast Raman histology and cancer diagnosis/prognosis
Tissue clearing and high-throughput volumetric imaging
Machine learning aided cell and tissue imaging and fast phenotyping
Subcellular metabolomics
Tumor microenvironment
Neurodegenerative disease models
Thrust 2: In the era of AI, we develop novel imaging methods for brain sciences. We use artificial neurons as one of our tools to study biological neurons.
Themes include:
Tissue clearing and high-throughput volumetric imaging
Neurodegenerative disease models
